Hey Murray,

Good point. And of course as you imply, the real question to ask is "When the Son of Man returns, will he find any with faith on the earth?" I am sure NASA could care less about that, but it would be interesting to know how many faithful are paying taxes to support their non-sense. I am for doing scientific research, but hey, less not justify doing it with such non-sense as searching for life beyond earth. What is wrong with just saying, "We just want to know what is out there"?

But how much water is there really on Mars? Probably not much. I will be interested, of course, but I fully expect that most of the ice-cap will be dry ice, or frozen CO2.

Yet evolutionist, anti-creationist scientists will prattle on about how Mars was once covered with water, yet there is hardly any there now. But talk to the same people about how there was once a world-wide flood on the Earth, and they will almost scrag you from ear to ear! "Where is all the water now?" they will sneer. Hypocrisy is known in her children!

So they want to find water on Mars to tell us our future? What a bunch of dips. If they find water, I demand at least a new flavor of TANG !

From my understanding, they're looking for liquid water, not the frozen stuff in comets and rings.

And Mike's kind of right ... the only model of evolution there is relies heavily on (liquid) water to work. Scientists aren't looking for credibility for the theory, they're looking for signs of past or present life, and figure water is their best bet.

Remember the reason for wanting to find water. In the evolutionist handbook is the premise that life originated in some primordial sea. Finding water, in their view, somehow lends credibility to their pet theory, and enables assumptions about the existence of life elsewhere.

I think there will be too much iron in it. By the way, another interesting picture can be seen at, http://phoenix.lpl.arizona.edu/ an actual parachuting to earth, oops, Mars. I wouldn't grip too much at least it landed safely, and might even do what is suppose to do, now that is something we all can be surprised about, a Federal government/state university program, that doesn't often happen.
